A large monument just beyond the park gate marks the Granma's landing spot. A small museum outlines the routes taken by Castro, Guevara and the others into the Sierra Maestra, and there's a full-scale replica of the Granma , which – if you're lucky – a machete-wielding guard will let you climb inside to wonder how 82 men ever made it.
The entry ticket includes a visit to the simple reconstructed hut of the first campesino (a poor charcoal-burner) to help Fidel after the landing. An enthusiastic guide will also accompany you along a 1.3km path through dense mangroves to the ocean and the spot where the Granma ran aground, 70m off-shore.
